Larwood Bridge, Covered bridge in Crabtree, United States.
Larwood Bridge is a 105-foot covered wooden bridge carrying Fish Hatchery Road over Crabtree Creek, about 3 miles north of Lacomb in Linn County. It stands at Larwood Wayside Park, where the Roaring River empties into the creek.
Built in 1939, the bridge was repaired in 2002. It had two predecessors, one over Crabtree Creek and another over the Roaring River, standing adjacent to each other; neither survives. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The name comes from William Larwood, who founded a settlement in this area during the 1800s. The bridge reflects how communities built sturdy crossings to connect farms and settlements across the creek.
The best access is via Fish Hatchery Road, and the adjacent Larwood Wayside Park provides parking, picnic areas, and swimming facilities. The site is also good for photographers, especially during changing daylight when the wooden structure is most visible.
The bridge had two predecessors standing side by side, one crossing Crabtree Creek and the other crossing the Roaring River; neither survives. The present 1939 span was repaired in 2002 and carries Fish Hatchery Road at Larwood Wayside Park, about 3 miles north of Lacomb.
